sugar and spice

on the big rock candy mountain

all the children have cavities

and all the men cry out in agony,

“won’t some one save us?

please god, spare us this pain!

take me away from this hideous mountain!

the sugar, the sweetness, I can’t stand it anymore!

I’m ready to go!”

but no one ever comes

they suffer silently

on big rock candy

mountain

for eternity
